Scryer Prolog is a free software ISO Prolog system intended to be an industrial strength production environment and a testbed for bleeding edge research in logic and constraint programming.
Scryer Prolog is a free software ISO-compliant Prolog system designed to serve as both an industrial-strength production environment and a research platform for cutting-edge developments in logic and constraint programming. It provides a robust framework for building efficient applications while supporting experimental advancements in the field.
Key Features:
- ISO Compliance: Adheres to the ISO standard for Prolog, ensuring compatibility with existing codebases.
- Integrated Constraint Libraries: Offers clp(B) and clp(Z) for constraint satisfaction problems.
- Coroutining Support: Includes predicates like
dif/2
andfreeze/2
for advanced control flow. - Tabling and SLG Resolution: Enhances efficiency for programs with overlapping subgoals.
- Network Capabilities: Supports TCP sockets, HTTP server/client functionality, and cryptographic operations.
- WebAssembly Integration: Enables deployment in web environments.
- Foreign Function Interface (FFI): Allows interaction with code written in other languages.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Built using Rust, it runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers, researchers, and educators working in AI, natural language processing, automated reasoning, and constraint programming. Scryer Prolog empowers users to build efficient, maintainable applications while exploring innovative research directions. Its combination of industrial-grade performance and research-oriented features makes it a versatile tool for both practical deployments and experimental projects.
